Rancher Adam Sloan is more than meets the eye. As the heir to his Pack, the sexy werewolf’s biggest challenge is keeping his kin’s true nature under wraps. But a group of jaguar shifters threatens to reveal the pack, blasting into town killing humans in plain sight. And when he smells one at the local diner, his standing orders are to take her out.
Lana Turpin doesn’t realize she’s a moving target. Raised in the foster system, she only knows that she blacks out during the new moon and wakes up without remembering a thing. But now she’s being tracked by some strange organization that wants her back—even though she’s never stepped foot inside their compound. And the stranger across the diner is watching her like an enemy.
It should be a simple mission for Adam, but when he touches the frustratingly beautiful Lana, his inner wolf howls…mate. Now, the two must find and stop the people who hunt her…and Adam must keep his own family from killing the only woman he will ever love.

Thoughts:

Good looking and too-sexy-for-his-own-good, Adam is a rancher and destined to be the alpha werewolf of his pack. He and his pack are on the lookout for a panther who has been reported to be in the their area as panthers and weres are sworn enemies. He picks up the scent and it's coming from a cafe...

Lana was abandoned at birth and is a free lance writer. She has been experiencing episodes in which she blacks out and, after having a medical scan, is now on the run from some men who want to put her in an institution - someplace she definitely does not want to go! She is just trying to grab a bite to eat and is not thrilled when Adam saunters in the cafe and sits at her table...

When the men from the institution walk in to the cafe a few minutes later, Adam moves quickly to protect Lana to both his and Lana's surprise. So begins a scrumptiously sexy tale of rocky pitfalls and discovery for both Adam and Lana and for Adam's pack.

I've read everything Lisa has ever published and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Lisa's books. This one is truly a treat! The story enthralled me from the very beginning and it was torture to put it down! I have to confess that I've never been a fan of books about werewolves previously... but I certainly am now that I have read Moonlight! I can hardly wait for the next one in this series.

I highly recommend Moonlight to anyone looking for a captivating paranormal read. IF you don't particularly care for werewolves now, I bet you will after you read it too! It's EXCELLENT!
